Maximization of Lifetime and Reducing Power Consumption in Wireless Sensor Network Using Protocol

This paper is to avoid duplicate transmission, node reconfiguration and power consumption in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Wireless sensor network requires robust and energy efficient communication protocols to minimize the energy consumption as much as possible. However, the lifetime of sensor network reduces due to the adverse impacts caused by radio irregularity and fading in multi-hop WSN. The scheme extends High Energy First (HEF) clustering algorithm and enables multi-hop transmissions among the clusters by incorporating the selection of cooperative sending and receiving nodes. The work proposed focuses to develop any node to act as Cluster Head (CH) instead of affected CH because the authors need to get a data from CH continuously.
